We invite you to build, learn, and exchange ideas with us on this week's Teachers Teaching Teachers https://teachersteachingteachers.org on Wednesday evening, December 2 at 9E/8C/7M/6P.
We are planning to use an old, sturdy project, Six Word Memoir https://www.lrng.org/youth-voices/playlist/six-word-memoir-3 to learn together how to create visual, interactive narratives a brand new, dynamic, easy-to-use tool on Youth Voices that allows you to create Web Stories. (See https://qodeinteractive.com/magazine/google-web-stories/)
Web Stories are a free, open-web, visual storytelling format for the web, enabling you to easily create visual narratives with engaging animations and tappable interactions, and immerse your readers in great and fast-loading full-screen experiences. https://wordpress.org/plugins/web-stories/
We will invite you to capture an element of your identity in just SIX WORDS.
Legend has it that when Ernest Hemingway was challenged to write a six word novel, he came up with, “For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Inspired by Hemingway’s short story, SMITH magazine asked their readers for their own six word memoirs in 2006. They challenged readers and famous writers alike to submit their own six word memoirs for a contest. People of all ages sent in short life stories in droves, and the results were poignant, hilarious, devastating and good lessons to all. (Smith Magazine)
A six word memoir is the story of your life—some part of it or all of it—told in exactly six words.

Education and the way that students learn is drastically shifting. Learning how to cater to a more technology based teaching style is more likely to increase engagement, especially among younger students. Teachers are also now expected to help guide students not only by using technology to teach them, but also to show them through the technological world. This leap will be hard for many teachers, but it is one that in my eyes is necessary and beneficial for both the educator and the students.
